Help[Opinions] Re: Hipster Nicknames
in reply to a message by SpockOnChocolate
I don't think Siah for Josiah or Trick for Patrick are hipster. They just seem extremely artificial and gimmicky... like the kinds of things guys might call each other jokingly, almost trash-talk. Not like the kinds of short names people'd seriously introduce themselves with.
Shad for Shadrach seems really obvious, although the name Shadrach itself seems pretty "hipster."
Jojo also seems very ordinary as a nick, and so does Sky.
Faukson does shorten naturally to Fox. If Faukson was the person's first name, I'd suspect that it was coined just to get Fox, though. So it seems artificial in a way. Deck for Decker seems natural enough, but Decker is very trendy style, not what I'd call hipster.
